Jorge Lorenzo took pole position late on in the qualifying session at Mugello, which also saw Loris Capirossi reach the front row after shadowing Valentino Rossi around. Capirossi famously got a tow from Rossi in the 2008 Mugello qualifying session, but this time it backfired on Rossi and Capirossi actually took pole position – before Stoner and Lorenzo contested it with 5 mins to go.
